A New Political Factor.

The organization of the liquor dealers
as political factor to defeat the Repub-
lican party has a peculiar and dangerous
significance This organization has ex-
listed for some time, but it is only recent
ly that ii has publicly declared its object
Of controlling the politics and legislation
Of the state. The alarming fact that these
men, the avowed enemies of temperance
have leagued together to prevent neces-
sary legislation, and have raised cor
ruption fund Of 100000 to control the
State. With this fund they propose to
place the Democracy in power pledged to
DO their bidding As the New York
Tribune asks. what is the secret of this
neS zeal of the liquor dealers for the
Democratic candidates? Simply that the
Republicans have already passed Con
stitutional Amendment through the Leg
islature to submit the question Of Prohi-
bition to a popular vote, and they have
pledged themselves to give it, if they con-

dorsement needed before it goes to the
people. The liquor dealers have made
bargain with the Democrats by which
the latter are to defeat the amendment if
they control the next Legislature. and as
along step toward that end the Republi-
can candidates for State offices this fall
ar TO be beaten, if possible 1t is no new
thing, of course, for liquor dealers 10 dab
Bile in politics. but these new and large
combinations, these huge corruption
funds, the long carriage parades of liquor
dealers in our great cities, show an or
ganlzation that Is growing insoleni in the
pride of lis strength and riches. The
movement is a danger to public morals.
not only ON the side of temperance, but
because IT means a fresh source Of corrup-
tion in the suffrage where there are too
many already. The liquor sellers are
wise to keep their operations in the dark
as much as possible When the Ameri-
can people understand their plans and
purposes fully, they are likely to hear
thunder. This country cannot be ruled

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liv-
er is misery. Indigestion is foe u good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, ir-
regular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

Testing a Dynamite Gun.

Lieutenant Ialinski proved Tuesday
afternoon that is possible to throw dyna-
mite a mile from an air gun and blow TO
pieces hostile ship. Secretary Whitney,
General Schofeld and other naval and
military men saw it done For over a
year there have been long tubes on stands
at the Southern end of Fort Lafayette.

two masts were stripped of sails and had
only the cordage that could not safely be
removed. The hull was pretty low down
in the water, and as compared with a
fleet of warships, the doomed steamer
was like the bulls eve of target
At 3 O'Clock time was called and two
blank shots were fired to get range. The
pressure for these trial shots WIS 600

The pressure was increased to tiO7 pounds
and real shell was put in. These shells
are shaped like huge rockets Behind
the cap are fifty-five pounds of nitro gel
atine in brass shell, and attached to
that is brass tail that makes the whole
rocket five or six feet long. There was
louder hiss when the first loaded shell
came and little white cloud of escaping
air. The rocket hissed along for ten or
twelve seconds and then plunged into
the water few yards off the starboard
quarter of the schooner. As soon as it
struck there was an explosion, and col

Two other shots were fired to show the
accuracy Of the gnn. The first of them

When we compare our laboring people
with those of Europe, the beneficent eff
fects of the Republican Tariff policy are
apparent The following facts were de-
Quoted from official reports sent by our
Consuls to the Department of State. They
are not visionary theories but cold facts
and figures:
|. The rate of wages in the United
States, roughly estimated, is more than
twice those of Belgium three times those
of Denmark, France and Germany once
and half those of England and Scot
land and more than three times those
in Italy and Spain.
,. The prices of the necessaries of life
are lower in the United States than in
any Of the foregoing countries; that is,
the laboring people of Europe cannot
purchase the necessaries of life which are
common 10 the American people as low
as the same can be purchased in the Uni-
ted States; or vice versa, if the working
people of the United States lived ON the
same quality of food, or comparatively
the same, and exercised the same frugal
ity as the working people of Europe,
they could live as cheaply as the working
people ofany country in Europe.

A Tremendous Drive ON the Market
Prices Marked Down With Startling
Rapidly and q Panic Almost Ensues
The Bears Assist in Dispelling The
wild Rumors-The Close Unsettled
But Firm Generally owing to Liberal
Buying.
NEW YORK. June "a.
The stock market was subjected to-day to one of
the heaviest drives known in Its history. and
although its duration was short about an hour and
half, the depression in prices during that time
was unprecedented. The market early IN the morn
ing gave no indication Of anything unusual, and,
although prices were heavy, the same quiet bust
ness usual of late was transacted. Suddenly,
shortly after II o'clock, the attack was begun, the
Gould stocks being the particular OBJECT OF atten
ton. Manhattan was quickly marked down from
1861 to lis; Missouri Pacific from 1854 to 90, and
Western Union from 1885 to 6713. Rumors were
circulated at the same time of a disagreement be-
tween Messrs. Could Field and Sage and later this
was followed by reports OF Goulos death. The
money market was neglected, but rates were mark
ed up to 5-16 and interest. A tremendous selling
movement began which soon became panic and
fluctuations were longer confined to fractions,
but prices dropped in some cases and 8 per cent
at time In an hour about 100000 shares were
sold. The stories in regard to Mr.. Gould were soon
denied, and professional bears were influential
in stopping the wild sales of securities Other dis
quieting rumors were disproved and liberal buying
soon turned the tide of affairs. free recovery
followed in all except few of the conspicuously
weak stocks. among which Manhattan and Rich
mond and West Point most conspicuous The
speciaties not sharers to any great extent in
the movement, which was confined to the leading
speculative stocks of the day. The market closed
| unsettled, but generally firm. The entire active
list is lower, Manhattan being down 2113 per cent
The business Of the day was larger than for any
day SO far this year. Railroad bonds were unaf'
fected by the furry in stocks, although prices were
generally heavy.
